B2320, B2620, and B2920

[seapea]

I was real close to buying a B7610 2.5 years ago. I bailed because I couldn't justify the cost at the time, and local dealers just quoted MSRP. I've gotten the itch again with the B2620 release, so I called a local dealer and got a quote of $15,900 for a B2620 + 364FEL, including tax and delivery. This also includes free labor on the 50hr service. I know it's not one of the better offers posted, but it's $1200 cheaper than the B7610+352FEL quote I got 2.5 years ago, and this is a better tractor. The dealer said I could take delivery of it this week, and I'm really tempted...

It does sound tempting! Actually that price you got with taxes doesn't sound bad here in New England. I was quoted $15,000 even for a B2620 with the LA364 loader.... no extras, no loaded tires, bucket hooks, etc. Sure hope that helped the temptation go away!!

NH doesn't have any sales taxes...

a guy can only bear researching and pricing for so long...

I here you there. I was the same way. I'm very pleased with my decision. Congrats! You'll love it. Didn't know they offered arm-rests. I'll have to think on that one, need to stop spending for now... Sorry can't help you with the box blade.

The armrests were a funny thing. I was talking with the dealer and I asked if it was possible to add armrests and how much it would cost. He looked at the back of the seat and said that the seat already has the mounts for the armrests. He walked over and pulled a couple of arm rests off of a shelf and said "I'll put these on for you for free." He said they had been sitting there for a while and hadn't been used. They looked new. I talked to him on the phone and he said that they mounted just fine and looked good. I guess it never hurts to ask.

Here are a few pics.

Yes, the B7800 is a good machine, at around $1800 less than the B3030. It just is missing some of the bells & whistles, but would run circles around the B2920. Same size as the B3030.

did you confirm if you can get a larger loader width on the 29XX, I have only heard Emerich say so, dealers here in WI are still clueless about these units

That's what Kubota is known for - strong, lightweight machines. Goes back to their rice paddy roots.

Try this link to see how it's a true TLB setup: Fiser Truck & Tractor: Agriculture: Kubota B23220, B2620, B2920 Diesel Tractors - BH65 Backhoe

This is why i use kubota, most of my work is on pristine turf where i need lots of power with very little footprint.

Can someone explain the difference between the position control and the quarter inching valve. I'm debating on between the 7800, 2920 and 3030

I'd suggest using the search feature. I don't beleive there is any other tractor feature that has been more hotly debated here.

The quick, and dirty difference is that quarter inching allows fine adjustments from a surface, or a way to slowly lower / raise implements to the height you choose. Position control allows you to set an implements height to a reference number on the tractor, and return to that height over, and over. So, if you were brush hogging, for example, with QI you would eyeball the height of the front of your mower deck each time afer you had raised it to clear an obstacle, if you had PC, you would set the mower height you wanted, and slide the stop to the control lever, and each time you lowered the lever to that stop, the mower would be the same height. Both can work very well for grading, but I like PC much better for things that happen under the ground level..... middle buster, turning plow, etc., and for rotary cutter operation, or other operations that need to happen at a fixed height. Some folks will run a front blade all the way down on their drives, and know if they raise it to "about number 2" it will not gouge the lawn as they push snow back, and that kind of thing.
